Cane Tip

The Able Tripod Base is a cane tip designed for use by individuals with walking disabilities or arthritis.

The pods flex as the user walks, reducing impact on the hand, wrist, and elbow. DIMENSIONS: Models are available to replace 5/8-, 0.75-, 7/8-, and 1-inch cane tips.

CUSTOM ADAPTATION PURPOSE: To enable an individual who has had a stroke to walk in on the beach with a cane. The user found walking on the beach difficult because the cane tip sank into the sand. The solution was to use a cane tip of the type used by lawn bowlers. This tip consists of a standard rubber cane tip fixed to a wide circle of plastic, enabling the tip to stay on top of the sand.
